D23 Destination D: Amazing Adventures Speculation?


Next weekend is D23 Destination D: Amazing Adventures at Walt Disney World. I am expecting it to be quite busy with some announcements on the parks. Today, I am going to highlight the event where we can hear some announcements such as the opening of Pandora - The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom. 

First on Saturday morning right after the welcome we will hear from Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. Here is the description of the panel:

Saturday, November 19 at 9:10 a.m. — A Conversation with Bob ChapekBob Chapek, Chairman, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, will sit down with D23’s Jeffrey Epstein to share his insights on the parks.

While this will be very early in the event, Disney could catch us off guard with an announcement early. I would expect this will just be a highlight of what's is new in the parks that has already opened and not anything major for the future of the parks which I expect to come later during another panel. I would still stay tuned for this one as we should always expect the unexpected.

There will be several other panels that day but nothing of potential for announcements of the parks. There will be a special announcement at 2 p.m. from Walt Disney Studios that I expect we will hear some new movie news.

On Sunday, there are three panels that will be potential for some Disney World announcements. First up will be the "New Walt Disney World Adventures" panel in the morning. Here is the description for that panel:

9:20 a.m. — New Walt Disney World Adventures
Get an insider’s glimpse into the latest experiences across Walt Disney World Resort with behind-the-scenes looks at new entertainment—featuring Walt Disney World Resort Ambassadors Caitlin Busscher and Nathaniel Palma, Entertainment Show Director Tom Vazzana, and Imagineer Wyatt Winter!

Here is where I expect to hear some breaking announcements. One, I expect that if they are giving a special preview of Rivers of Light later that night, I expect to hear some kind of announcement when they will debut the new nighttime spectacular to the public. 

Also, here is where I expect there to be any Marvel announcements for inside the parks whether Guardians of the Galaxy is coming to Hollywood Studios for the rumored re-theming of Rock N' Roller Coaster or in Epcot at Ellen's Energy Adventure. I am also hoping for some news on Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land in this panel.

The second panel that I expect to definitely here some announcement will be later in the morning where we will be hearing new details on Pandora - The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Here creators James Cameron and Jon Landau along with Imagineer Joe Rohde will reveal new details.

11:05 a.m. — Pandora – The World of AVATARAVATAR creators James Cameron (writer, director, producer) and Jon Landau (producer) and Imagineer Joe Rohde unveil new details about the immersive, 12-acre land coming soon to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Here I expect to hear new details on both new attractions in Avatar: Flight of Passage and the Na'vi River Journey. I also am speculating that we will be hearing an opening date for the new 12-acre land that is expected to open in 2017. 

Finally, there has been much speculation about the about Rivers of Light forever, Destination D will be holding a in-park gathering at the end of the event. This is where rumors have been swirling that D23 members will get an exclusive first look at the new nighttime spectacular. 

What are you hoping is announced during D23 Destination D: Amazing Adventures next weekend?

  1. Hoping that we get that preview of Rivers of Light on Sunday night. I've checked with a Disney insider, but no one is talking or they don't know. But we'll find out soon enough.

    1. I don't think we will hear anything before Sunday afternoon. Disney had a late night preview for execs the other night, so it sounds like Rivers of Light is ready.
